This thesis presents the numerical algorithms to carry out the face transformation. The main efforts are denoted to the finite volume method (FVM) with the Delaunay triangulation to solve the Laplace equations in the harmonic transformation undergone in face images. The advantages of the FVM with the Delaunay triangulation are: (1) Easy to formulate the linear algebraic equations, (2) Good to retain the geometric and physical properties, (3) less CPU time needed. The numerical and graphical experiments are reported for the face transformations from a female to a male, and vice versa. The computed sequential and absolute errors are and , where N is division number of a pixel into subpixels. Such computed errors coincide with the analysis on the splitting-shooting method (SSM) with piecewise constant interpolation in [Li and Bui, 1998c].
